Management portal
The management portal is the main console for the Oracle API platform. A web-based application deployed in the Oracle Cloud PaaS, it delivers capabilities to manage an API throughout the entire lifecycle. From API creation, policy implementation, access management, and API documentation to API documentation and analytics. In addition, depending on the user role (described later in the chapter), it is also possible to manage users, API gateways, and platform settings. The management portal comes with several features as illustrated in the following diagram:

The following section describes each of the pages illustrated in the diagram.
Note that the pages available in the management portal, depends on the version of the platforms being used. Versions have been appended to the page name to show from which release a given page is available. Nomenclature for versions are simple: <year>.<quarter>.<release number>. For example, v17.x + indicates that a page is available from 2017 onwards including any quarter.
This book is based on version 17.3.3. (3rd quarter 2017). This chapter will be updated yearly to reflect the latest additions and key known features of the roadmap.
